Little Old Teacup

Little old teacup, do come sit with me.
Let me tell all my troubles while I sip the hot tea.

The sun was all behind misty clouds today,
And the moon, too, hasn’t shown its glowing face.
Quite dreary for what’s supposed to be spring, I’d say,
But it’s too early to say t’ won’t come at its pace.

I’m sick- not too bad- just enough to be annoying,
And my head- dizzy- just enough to confuse me.
But that’s fine, ‘cause I’ve been able to be enjoying
My bed and laziness all this day so dreary.

I hope you’re not minding my complaining at all,
My dear teacup ‘course I’d never want to bore you!
So I’ll tell you some of the good things I recall;
Today wasn’t all bad; there were some good things too!

I got a good score on my test I had back awhile.
I’m so relieved and glad! I wonder- can you tell?
I hope you can, ‘cause people like to see a smile.
I got to talk to my sister. She’s pretty swell!

But the one thing that made me most happy today,
(And just happens to be the same thing every day)
Is that Jesus died on the cross for my sins to convey,
His vast love for me- so great I couldn’t repay.

Little old teacup, thanks for listening to me.
Please, let’s do this again, ASAP!!
